3.4.6 Position Reporting (optional)
Position Reporting is a system which collects system variables and transmits
them over the Iridium
®
satellite at a given interval through the GSR 56.
3.4.6.1 Status
The Status window shows the time until the next data transmission and the
status of the reporting system.
NOTE: The GSR 56 does not report its serial number until 90 seconds after
power up of the GDU. As a result, for that period, the product info for the
GSR 56 will show "Waiting."
Time Until Transmit
The Time Until Transmit field is a countdown timer that shows the time
until the next data transmission. This field is blank when the aircraft is on the
ground.
